New pet owners often hear horror stories about someone’s cat clawing up furniture or ruining clothing, which can make the choice to get a dog seem very practical. However, dogs have nails that are just as likely to cause damage if not trimmed regularly, even if those dogs don’t actively look for things to use as a scratching post. Trimming the nails off an animal that could start thrashing around at any point can be nerve-wracking, and that leads many pet owners to avoid going near the pet’s nails.…

Your pet dog’s ears are susceptible to infections if foreign substances or hair work their way into the middle and inner ear chambers. Routine ear cleaning will assist with maintaining your dog’s hearing and balance.

About Me

We had kids before we had pets, so I knew where my priorities were. I needed to make sure that my animals never touched my kids in a violent manner, so I started training my animals carefully. I worked with my pets to teach them key behavioral things, and within a few months, they were behaving much better. They were always gentle and patient with our children, which was really nice. I decided to start a new website that centered around finding pets that work for your kids, since you never know when an animal could be a threat to your kids.
